Forest Update
Due to severe storm damage, major work is taking place this year to clear the routes and prevent further devastation if future storms hit the region. This should not affect these courses, but this is out of our control and is subject to the forestry clearance programme. We will keep our Facebook page updated with any changes in the weeks leading up to the event.
